Το «κούρεμα» του γερμανικού χρέους για το οποίο είχε συμφωνήσει και η Ελλάδα!

Στις 27 Φεβρουαρίου 1953 οι πιστωτές της Γερμανίας με πρωτοβουλία των ΗΠΑ συγκεντρώθηκαν στο Λονδίνο για να διευθετήσουν το χρέος της Γερμανίας και συγκεκριμένα αυτό της Δυτικής Γερμανίας.

Το γερμανικό χρέος (προπολεμικό και μεταπολεμικό) ανερχόταν σε 32 δισεκατομμύρια μάρκα, χωρίς να υπολογίζονται οι πολεμικές επανορθώσεις και αποζημιώσεις. Στους πιστωτές περιλαμβάνονταν χώρες, όπως οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, ο Καναδάς, η Γαλλία, η Μεγάλη Βρετανία, το Ιράν, η Ιταλία, η Ισπανία, η Ελβετία, η Γιουγκοσλαβία, η Νότιος Αφρική και η Ελλάδα. Η Ρωσία και οι χώρες της Ανατολικής Ευρώπης δεν συμμετείχαν στις διαπραγματεύσεις.

Οι διαπραγματεύσεις κράτησαν περίπου έξι μήνες και στις 8 Αυγούστου 1953 υπεγράφη η Συμφωνία του Λονδίνου για τα Γερμανικά Εξωτερικά Χρέη (London Agreement on German External Debts), που προέβλεπε «κούρεμα» κατά 60% και αποπληρωμή τους με μάρκα σε 30 χρόνια.

Ένας σημαντικός όρος της συμφωνίας ήταν ότι η αποπληρωμή θα γινόταν εφόσον η Δυτική Γερμανία είχε εμπορικό πλεόνασμα και η εξυπηρέτηση του χρέους δεν θα ξεπερνούσε το 3% των εσόδων της από το εξαγωγικό εμπόριο. Από ελληνικής πλευράς, τη συμφωνία υπέγραψε ο πρεσβευτής μας στο Λονδίνο, Λέων Β. Μελάς, και κυρώθηκε από τη Βουλή με το νόμο 3480/56 (ΦΕΚ 6/7.1.1956).

Το «κούρεμα» του γερμανικού χρέους, μαζί με το σχέδιο Μάρσαλ, βοήθησαν καθοριστικά στην οικονομική «απογείωση» της καθημαγμένης από τον πόλεμο Δυτικής Γερμανίας και τη βοήθησε να ενταχθεί ομαλά στους διεθνείς θεσμούς.

Λόγω της οικονομικής της ανάπτυξης, η αποπληρωμή του χρέους ήταν εύκολη υπόθεση για τη Δυτική Γερμανία. Η τελευταία δόση του πληρώθηκε στις 3 Οκτωβρίου 2010, όταν η Ελλάδα βρισκόταν στον αστερισμό του πρώτου μνημονίου.

Το «κούρεμα» του γερμανικού χρέους το 1953 χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως παράδειγμα από μη κυβερνητικές οργανώσεις (ATTAC κ.ά.) για τη διεκδίκηση διαγραφής του χρέους των υπερχρεωμένων χωρών του Τρίτου Κόσμου. Το επικαλέστηκε για το ελληνικό χρέος και ο τότε πρόεδρος του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και νυν πρωθυπουργός Αλέξης Τσίπρας, κατά τη διάρκεια επίσκεψής του στο Ευρωκοινοβούλιο στις 27 Σεπτεμβρίου 2012.

    Η Γερμανία όμως είχε και πριν από τον πόλεμο βαριά βιομηχανία. Ετσι ηξεραν τι να κάνουν. Εδω και όλο το χρέος να μας κουρέψουν τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε ?Ατέλειωτες ταβέρνες, μπαρ, καφετέριες, τυροπιτάδικα.......η γεωργική παραγωγή λίγη και σε λιγο που θα γεμίσει η Αμερική ελαιόδενδρα θα ψαχνόμαστε......όσο για τον τουρισμό είμαστε στη φάση που η καινούργια γενιά τουριστών ξεχύθηκε για αναγνώριση του πλανήτη. Από του χρόνου κανονικά θα πρέπει να πέσει η κίνηση οπότε...........Αν δεν φτιάξουμε βαρια βιομηχανία ανταγωνιστική σε ποιότητα δεν προκειται να σηκώσουμε κεφάλι. Γυρίστε το φλυντζάνι που πίνετε καφέ ειναι εισαγωγής, το στυλό που γράφετε, το μολύβι, η ξυριστική μηχανή......μιλάμε για τα πιο απλά πράγματα που δεν μπορούμε να κατασκευάσουμε. Ποιόν θα συναγωνιστούμε? Πως?

Operation Mindfuck: The origins of the Illuminati conspiracy fraud and how it became popular in our times

From the new documentary Can 't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis   globinfo freexchange   The first settlers had come from Europe to America to flee from the corruption of power in the Old World. But although they had got away from the old power, they hadn't got away from their suspicious minds, and alone, out in the vast wilderness of the new America, that led them to imagining dark, hidden conspiracies in their own government, far away in Washington.    One of the first of these, in the early 19th century, said that a secret group from Europe, called the Bavarian Illuminati, were running a giant conspiracy in America to destroy the new democracy. In reality, the Illuminati had been a utopian movement who wanted to replace religion with reason. But instead, they now became the first of a series of frightening suspicions that fed off the isolation of the settlers in the New World.    One night (in 1958, somewhere in the vicinity of Whittier, Califo...

US Warships Under Fire: Iran Hits Back & Blasts UAE

MintPress News  "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."  By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy.  Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...

How Western societies lost their faith in Vision

Why people don't rise up massively today? Why there are no real revolutions? How we tolerate all things that have been imposed to us? These questions come up in people's minds more and more often today in Greece and abroad, due to the economic crisis. Some theories are circulated as an answer, among these, explanations which include, for example, the psychosynthesis of modern Greeks, but the truth is that there is something more fundamental behind this passive behaviour and concerns not only Greece, but the entire Western world. by system failure Prior to the beginning of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche declares God's death and Western world will put all its hopes in science. Laplace's Determinism leads to the almighty man, who through science, can find all the answers for the world. Technology, which naturally comes from scientific discoveries, promises prosperity and a better life for the majority. Science becomes the central "pylon...

Iranian Women Resist Invasion, Hospitals Targeted & Petrodollar Collapse

MintPress News   MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign. Dr. Sadeghi exposes: • How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks • Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it • The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide • How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline • UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party • Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial domination As Trump threatens to ...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

“Russia & China Preparing For War With The US!”

The Jimmy Dore Show   Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains that as a result of recent military conflicts, Russia, China, and Iran have become allies, and that Beijing and Moscow have concluded that "if we let Iran fail, we're next on the menu" from what he describes as a "rogue state led by a rogue personality," meaning they will intervene to prevent Iran's collapse if the US threatens it. He tells Jimmy Dore that Putin called Trump for an hour and a half to make it clear that a military campaign in Iran would not succeed and would make the situation much worse, offering to store Iran's enriched uranium as a diplomatic gesture. Macgregor warns that if the US restarts the war, China could send 40 or 50 surface combatants and submarines to the Indian Ocean, and Russia could fly MiG-31s into Iranian airspace — not to provoke a direct confrontation but to "make a point." He concludes that the British Empire overreached and overextended with World War...

The West's hypocrisy has been exposed: This is how

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump's attacks on longtime US "allies" have forced Western leaders to admit their warmongering foreign policy was hypocritical. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said the truth in his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos: the "rules-based order" was "false". Ben Norton explains how the global balance of power is shifting.
